If you can feel your Porky Yorkie's ribs under his skin when you run your hands down his sides then he probably isn't Porky. At just over a year his body is still maturing and although you don't want him to be overweight, you do want him to have a slight fat reserve so draw on.
If only I had that problem....... my little boy, Peppy is 16 months old and I would like to see him gain about 4 to 8 ounces. He weighs 3.25 lbs. on a good day. He eats two good meals a day (1/4 cup of Innova Evo mixed with a teaspoon of gravy as a flavor enhancer) and has free choice kibble available for snacking at all times, but he burns all of his calories being "man of the house" keeping the girls in line. |
